How Idaho compares with nearby states

State	Uses points	The rule
Montana	Yes	A driver with 30 or more conviction points in 3 years is declared a habitual traffic offender and loses the license for 3 years.
Nevada	Yes	The DMV assigns demerit points for each moving violation conviction by severity, and 12 points within 12 months brings an automatic 6-month license suspension.
Oregon	No	Oregon does not put points on a driving record. Its Driver Improvement Program restricts or suspends a license based on how many convictions and crashes a driver has in a set period.
Utah	Yes	Moving violations add points by severity, and adults 21 and older who reach 200 points in three years may be suspended for three months to a year.
Washington	No	Washington does not use points. Six moving violations in 12 months, or seven in 24 months, brings a 60-day suspension.
Wyoming	No	The state suspends a license for 90 days on the fourth moving violation within 12 months, based on the offense dates.
